N0 MODEL.

MY SYMPHONY.

To live content with small means;

To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion;

To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich;

To study and thinlcquietly, talk gently, act

frankly;

To listen to stars and birds, to babies and songs, with open heart;

To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never;

In a word,to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.

This is to be my symphony.

EDUCATIONAL ART TEXT-SHEET;

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No 720,187, dated February 1 1903- Application filed June 13,1902.

Serial No. 111,460. iIiTomorleL) To all whom it may cortcerw:

Be it known that I, WILHELMINA SEEG- MILLER, a subject of the King of Great Brit-' ain, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain'new and useful Improvements in Edu catioual Art Text-Sheets, of which the following is a specification.

At the present time considerable attention is being paid in the public and other. school systems to the training of the younger pupils to produce artistic effects with paints or crayons, and it is also found desirable to inculcate lofty sentiments and standard quotations. It has been my experience that the pupil will retain a word-text more readily if the text is associated with something which is to be ac-,

'a character adapted to readily receive and.

retain the illuminating-pigment and also of such character as to render it fit for permanent preservation if the pupil so desires. The

illumination also results in a development of the art sense of the pupil.

The accompanying drawing illustrates myinvention, said drawing consisting of ,a wordtext quotation from William Ellery Channing surrounded or partially surrounded by an outline border intended for illumination.

ticular word-text or the particular outline to be illumined is not the essence of my invention, nor is the material of the sheet, so long as it be of such character as to receive and retain the illuminating-pigment, my invention consisting instead of the association of a sheet of material adapted to receive and retain an illuminating-pigment, a word-text,

mined.

I claim as my invention- An education art text-sheet, consisting of a sheet of material adapted to receive and retain an illuminating-pigment, a literary ex tract carriedupon the sheet, and an outlined ornamentation, intend ed to be illumined, also carried on the sheet and embracing the ex tract. v v

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, at Indianapolis, Indiana, this 7th day of June, A. D. 1902.
